Hi,
I have a VB6 app with a VB.Net Interop user control ( a menu ).
When I click some option at the interop menu, it generates an event that is handled by the VB6 app to call a VB6 form. But after the VB6 form is called the focus remains at the interop usercontrol and then I need an aditional click to put the focus at the called form.
Thanks in advance.

Didn't VB6 have a SetFocus method on it's controls?? I'd say start by showing your form, the call SetFocus on the control you want the focus to move to.

Hi,
Yes...there's a setfocus at VB6 but it don't work at this situation.
I can see that the problem is related to modal forms and not to non modal forms
The following code works ok :
Private Sub InteropEventAtVb6()
MyVb6Form2.Show
End Sub
At the following code I need an extra mouse click to focus the form...
Private Sub InteropEventAtVb6()
MyVb6Form2.Show 1
End Sub
|
|
|
|
|
In that case, I have no idea and no way to test it. I haven't used VB6 in over 7 years.

Hello All,
I have a requirements in "Windows form exe" that when we click on the exe, the data from the Oracle database should be exported to another Oracle database and also the data that has been exported should be emailed with excel attachments to intended recipents.
I searched but couldn't get the code as such and also i am not able to implement the functionality.
It would be great, if someone can help me out in this.
Many thanks.

Basically it's quite simple application. For example if you want to retrieve the data through the application it could be something like:
- you create a OracleConnection against source database
- you create a OracleConnection against target database
- use OracleCommand and OracleReader to read data from source
- use OracleCommand to insert data to the target
- use MailMessage class to deliver the message
However I think that a better way would be:
- create a database link in the target database pointing to the source database
- create stored procedure which copies the data from soure to target (for example using insert into ... select from ...
- after populating the target, return ref_cursor to the added rows
- return the data to the client application and send the message
This logic would use the same classes but the transfer is much easier to code and much faster.
Hope this helps,
Mika

You can use the following code send you excel file as an attachment from your application.
it use an smtp server,please enter proper email id as marked in the comments , i have tested it from a gmail account
Dim smtpClient As New Net.Mail.SmtpClient()
Dim mail As New Net.Mail.MailMessage()
'create the message to be sent
mail.To.Add("test@test.com") ' Enter the Email of the person you want to send the mail to
mail.From = New Net.Mail.MailAddress("username@gmail.com", "Your Display Name") ' Enter Your email address
mail.Subject = "Test Message"
mail.Body = "This is a test message"
' Prepare the client to send the above message
'Attach the file as attachment
mail.Attachments.Add(new System.Net.Mail.Attachment("yourFileName.xls"))
smtpClient.Host = "smtp.gmail.com"
smtpClient.EnableSsl = True
smtpClient.Port = 587
smtpClient.Credentials = New Net.NetworkCredential("username@gmail.com", "password") 'Enter username and password of the account , you want to use to send mail
smtpClient.DeliveryMethod = Net.Mail.SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network
smtpClient.Send(mail)
Hope this helps

Hi,
I'm using cr 8.5 and vb6. I'm using crystal report control component in my application. I've created report with two parameters. My report is working well alone by refreshing and passing parameters. But I'm facing problem in vb6, while I call report with passing parameters. I'm getting Invalid parameter field value. This is my code below.
cr1.ParameterFields(1) = "pBankCode;" & lstrBankCode & ";True"
cr1.ParameterFields(2) = "pDate;" & Format(cmbPaymentDate, "dd/MM/yyyy") & ";True"
cr1.ReportFileName = App.Path & "\rptCovLetToCommodityPmnts.rpt"
cr1.Action = 1
Pls. anybody give me the soln. I tried in different ways. Tnx in adv.

Why do you still use vb6 in 2009 ?
Vuyiswa Maseko,
Few companies that installed computers to reduce the employment of clerks have realized their expectations.... They now need more and more expensive clerks even though they call them "Developers" or "Programmers."

Never done it in vb6 but in .net there is a method
'setparametervalue(paramname,paramvalue)'
check if you have this (watch out paramname is case-sensitive I think)
Also you set the parameters after you loaded the report and (if needed) reconnected it. So right before you show the report.

Firstly, Thank you for your reply. I've done in dot net well. I could pass parameter from the application. But here, I'm facing pbm in vb6 and cr 8.5.
I tried in both ways such as set parameters before and after assign the report. In both ways, I'm getting the same problem. Eventhough, I googled also, But I was getting the posts only not replies.

hi
i published one vb.net project with ms access database..... while publishing my project one error occurred like this...could not find c:/documents and settings....................../database.mdb...... how to handle this......

Remmber your Development Path will not be the same as your Cliients Path. VS does not Do it for you Automatically. The Error means it cant find the Database. If you have hardcoided your connection string, you shoud consider putting it in a Config File and read it from there. When you create a setup Project add the database to your Application and when you install the Application it will be in the Application Folder and make sure that the Connection string in your Config file points to the Application Folder not my Document....................

Hi,
Looking for a bit of help. What I want to do to filter a table in my database by a month select. So for example I want to see the results for January. I have populated my dataset with all the records in my database when I first start my application.
da.Fill(ds,"Records) 'da is my dataadapter and ds is my dataset
So is there some way I can filter my dataset to show the results that I just want or should I re populate my dataset with the dataadapter using a SQL Statment such as SELECT * Records WHERE etc... Is there anyother way
Thanks for your help

Thanks, the select method worked great

Hi, I'm new to VB.Net.
I want help to develop a Time sheet project.
Abstract:
employees log-in and log-out time has to be entered,hours worked on a particular project has to be entered,status of the projects should be managed,personnel information of the employee has to be maintained,payroll report has to be prepared with the information.
Can anyone guide me on this.
Thanks in Advance

Take a look at the "Employee Starter Kit" and the "Time Tracker Starter Kit" 
Your question is rather broad. You'll need to create a database and a GUI - but most off all, you'll need to define some specifications. Where are the employees names' stored? Are you going to retrieve them from an Active Directory? Or do they sign-in in your application? What information is expected in the payroll report? Do they have to include special rates for working in the weekends?
Lots of questions, hope they help to get you started.

That's a good start actually
You've now got a short list of what the customer expects of the application. Lets call this the "Customer Spec". The track described here is loosely based on a formal approach. That means that it's more time-consuming than just firing up Visual Studio and starting to pound code - whether that's worth your time, is up to you.
The extra documentation gives a better view on the size of the project, and thus gives you a better indication of the time required to build it. It's a lot of work, and some steps may seem trivial enough to skip. To sum it, there are three important documents that are generally 'done';
- A definition study
Being a short list of wishes on which you base the Functional Specs. We named this the "Customer Spec", and you've already completed it.
- A functional specification
Detailing how each screen will look, what the different buttons do and so forth. This is based on the previous document, and will give your customer an idea what to expect.
- A technical specification
Detailing how you're going to build the screens that you mentioned in the funtional specification.
Following this route, you'd need to build a Functional Spec next. Joel Spolsky has done some great articles on the writing of functional specifications that you can find here;
Painless Functional Specifications
* Part 1: Why Bother?
* Part 2: What's a spec?
* Part 3: But.. How?
* Part 4: Tips
There are two examples on his site that you can view;
* WhatTimeIsIt (An example specs based on a fictional product)
* The Aardvark Spec (Real spec from a real product)
Once that is done, you could opt to translate this functional design (how does it look & work) to a technical design (how is it going to work?)

Here you have identified two important entities. You'll have to flesh them out into detail in the TechSpecs; what facts are you going to store about a project? What facts are you going to store of a Team? How do the entities relate to each other?
This is the start of your database-design, and might look something like this for Project:
Table: Project
----------------------------------------------
ProjectNumber (number)
ProjectName (text)
ProjectInitiationDate (datetime)
ProjectDescription (text)
ProjectLeader (reference to Employee-table, or just text?)
Defining these things helps in creating the structure. As it shows in the example above, it's not sure from the "Customer Spec" whether it's enough to store the name of the project-leader. These kind of "holes" in the design become apparent once you start working out the structure.
vijay2482 wrote: The system works on level wise. This means that: Department manager, Project Manger, Project Leader and Team member have different types of login accounts.
The system provides a graphical representation of individual utilizations.
Let's call the different types of login accounts "Roles". A "Employee" has a "Role", and depending on his/her Role, they can or cannot view/do things. ASP.NET has some standard-controls that could help you provide this functionality. More information on Users and Roles can be found here[^].
vijay2482 wrote: It generates weekly or monthly timesheet reports.
Relevant information regarding projects and teams are always available to the users which makes them well informed about the status.
Do you have examples of how these should look like? What information does the weekly report contain? What SQL-queries would you need to retrieve that information from your previously defined model?
That's a lot of questions to answer, and like I said before, it's a lot of work. Then again, it's easier to change the specs then it is to change sourcecode
Hope this helps,
